A mitochondrial bioenergetic basis of depression

Abstract: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is an important public health problem affecting 350 million people worldwide. After decades of study, the pathophysiology of MDD remains elusive, resulting in treatments that are only 30-60% effective. This review summarizes the emerging evidence that implicates impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics as a basis for MDD. It is suggested that impaired mitochondrial bioenergetic function contributes to the pathophysiology of MDD via several potential pathways including: genetics/geno… Show more

“…Elevated levels of adipic acid, and BCAAs, are known to be abnormal in ketoacidotic states (Liebich, Pickert, Stierle, & Woll, 1980). Meanwhile, a mutation in the LARS2 gene, which is responsible for the expression of mitochondrial Leucyl t-RNA synthetase has been found to occur in postmortem brain tissue of BD and SCZ patients (Munakata, Iwamoto, Bundo, & Kato, 2005) and which is thought to explain elevated levels of Lac in the brain (Ernst et al, 2017;Klinedinst & Regenold, 2014;Manji et al, 2012;Soeiro-De-Souza et al, 2016). Inadequate dietary (protein) intake, suggested by the decrease in BCAA, may be a risk-factor or a consequence of MDD.…”

“…In summary, neurodegenerative disorders are a heterogeneous group of diseases [Doshi-Velez et al, 2014;Moore and Barker, 2014;Watts et al, 2014;Klinedinst and Regenold, 2015] that to date have defied molecular-targeted therapies [Calvo et al, 2014]. a-Lipoic acid [Gora˛ca et al, 2011;Keith et al, 2012] and butyrate have poor pharmacokinetic properties (short half-lives and first-pass hepatic clearance), and the multigram doses needed to achieve therapeutic concentrations in vivo , even if tolerable, are not feasible to administer.…”

“…Depression affects an estimate of 350 million individuals worldwide (1) and is a serious public health problem due to its high morbidity, recurrence and suicide rate (2). Decades of extensive study of the pathophysiology of depression have led to various hypotheses regarding its molecular basis.…”
